Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy (Pre-Law)

Florida Atlantic University - StudyGroup USA

Unlike other fields of study, philosophy pursues fundamental questions in every dimension of human life. Philosophy develops our capacity for seeing the world from different perspective and deepens our sense of the meaning and variety of human experience. Philosophy is inescapable, because all thoughtful persons confront philosophical questions at some point in their lives, and nearly everyone is guided by philosophical assumptions, even if unconsciously. The B.A. in Philosophy, Pre-Law track is especially designed to provide students who are majoring in philosophy and who plan to attend law school with excellent preparation for the study of law. In addition to the University and College requirements for admission and graduation, students in the Pre-Law track are required to earn a minimum of 33 credits in philosophy courses as described in the table below. All courses must be taken for a grade and must be passed with a grade of 'C' or above, in order to count toward the degree.
